The harsh reality is that we have left things too late. Carbon dioxide (CO2) lingers in the atmosphere for 500-1000 years and even if we are able to remove CO2 from all areas of our lives e.g. transport, food production and energy we will still have too high a concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere….
